Countless eyes were now focused on the stage and on Chen Bei, but Chen Bei was not at all stage-frightened. He had seen many big scenes in the past six months.
He walked up to the stage leisurely, glanced around, and then said with a smile:
"I'll show you a little trick. I hope you like it."
Anyway, it was not a formal performance, so Chen Bei felt that he could be more casual. In the eyes of those magicians, his posture was absolutely unprofessional and showed no respect for the stage at all.
But in Wang Dao's view, he felt that he was very magnanimous and calm, and was a man who could accomplish great things.
Sitting down at the table, Chen Bei put the small box in his hand on the table, opened it, and showed the props inside.
It’s actually very simple, just two small paper frames that are just the right size to hold a playing card.
A white ribbon, 1 cm wide, two decks of playing cards with the same pattern on the back but different colors, one is red and the other is blue, plus a coin.
The props are really simple. If you only look at these few props, you can only guess that Chen Bei wants to perform some magic related to playing cards. As for how he will perform it specifically, no one knows.
The magicians present all sneered when they saw this scene. They were all professional magicians, and card magic was just the basics of the basics for them. What was so interesting about it?
If the young man in front of me only knows this trick, then he would be like showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong.
Some people have even started complaining:
"What was Director Wang thinking? Why did he choose such a young man to perform? Who among us can't do his tricks?"
Some people also sarcastically said:
"Maybe Director Wang hasn't seen card magic in a long time, so he wants to see something new. Let's watch it patiently."
"Lao Rong, aren't you good at card magic? Come on, show us what this kid is up to."
The magician known as Lao Rong curled his lips in disdain and said:
"With someone like him, what other tricks can he pull off? Don't worry, everyone. As soon as he makes a move, I'll know what he's up to. I'll expose him on the spot and make him lose face!"
Just as these magicians were whispering, Chen Bei's performance began.
First, he placed the two small paper frames directly above the table, close to the audience. Then he stretched the white ribbon and placed it in the middle of the table, dividing the entire table into two, with a small paper frame on each side.
Next, he turned over the playing cards in his hand and placed the cards with red and blue bottoms into two paper frames respectively.
So far, Chen Bei is still just making plans, so no one can figure out what's going on.
Even Lao Rong, who was full of confidence just now, didn't understand what Chen Bei was going to do next. This was not the way to change playing cards.
A typical card magic trick is to find a specific card from a mess of cards, or to change all the cards in your hand to the same suit.
You've been fiddling around on the table for so long. What are you trying to do?
Even a group of assistant directors were muttering:
"What is this guy trying to do? There's no point in him being so mysterious. The show's pace is too slow."
"Yeah, up until now we haven't figured out how he wants to play it. If we show it to the audience like this, they will definitely be very confused."
"If this keeps going on, the audience's attention might get distracted. Poof! Look at how unskilled his technique is. He even managed to throw the cards flying... Holy crap!"
An exclamation burst out from the mouths of several assistant directors and magicians. At this moment, everyone in the audience had the same expression and looked at Chen Bei on the stage in amazement.
Why did they cooperate so well? The reason is very simple. Chen Bei took action.
Before Chen Bei went on stage, he was wearing a black sleeveless suit vest.
But just now, Chen Bei threw a card directly off the table with a seemingly careless gesture. He even stood up to catch it, looking somewhat embarrassed, which caused many magicians present to sneer in disdain.
But the next second, no one could laugh anymore, because the moment Chen Bei sat down again, the sleeveless suit vest on his body, which was supposed to be pure black, suddenly changed color.
The side close to the blue poker card turned blue, and the side close to the red poker card turned red.
This sudden change stunned everyone present!
Everyone thought Chen Bei wanted to perform with playing cards, but who would have thought that what he really wanted to play with was colors!
Several assistant directors immediately began whispering and discussing how Chen Bei had changed and how he had done it in such a public place.
Director Wang had a smug smile on his face at this moment. He was the chief director, so how could the program he chose be bad?
Thinking of this, he tilted his head and said to Deputy Director Liu beside him:
"Xiao Chen is a really good person. We can get to know him more in the future."
Deputy Director Liu's heart was pounding. This was the affirmation from the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala. With this sentence, no matter how badly Chen Bei did in the future, he would still be able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala!
Being able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala means having huge traffic, which is what many people dream of!
The change of clothes color was just the beginning. Next, Chen Bei officially started his performance.
He was holding a deck of red-patterned playing cards, which he threw onto the table one by one, all with their backs facing up.
When thrown into the red area, the background color did not change, but once the playing card was thrown into the blue area, the background color instantly changed from red to blue!
This scene once again caused countless people to exclaim in surprise, and everyone was thinking the same question in their minds: how on earth was this done!
Not to mention the crowd of onlookers present, even the professional magicians were now confused.
"Lao Rong, aren't you a professional poker player? Tell us how this guy performed this magic trick."
Lao Rong looked constipated. How could he know how this magic trick was done? If he really knew, he would have performed the magic trick! How could this kid still have the chance to show off?
With such envy and jealousy in their hearts, the group of magicians continued to look down, and then their mouths opened wider and wider.
It turns out that magic can be performed this way!
Or maybe this is no longer magic, it is clearly magic!
After Chen Bei finished his performance, Director Wang was laughing so hard that his eyes were almost invisible. He didn't even need to discuss it with the director team, he just made the decision:
"It's passed. Xiao Chen, you should polish the program and prepare for the Spring Festival Gala!"
